Seeing Ghosts
Orchid lovers are searching for ghosts in Florida’s swamps. Summer is Ghost Orchid season, with spectral flowers betraying the locations of these strange, leafless air plants. Made famous by the bestselling book The Orchid Thief and acclaimed movie Adaptation, Ghost Orchids have a fanatic following. Southwest Florida’s News-Press has an article and two swampy videos showing a little of what people go through to see them in the wild. Since it’s only the beginning of the blooming season, expect more ghostly apparitions in coming months.

Great news! We appreciate your article. Ghost orchids are fascinating and we would love to see it up close sometime. Now I know that Florida is the place to see them. We clicked though your links and saw the great pictures in the ice rink. Very cool!
